You would be buying a new rotating assembly which means new pistons that should clear no problem

extra cubes need more air to make power. there is a guy on this forum that proved that. built a 347, used the stock heads and dynod 286rwhp

see im confused if i were to buy the 347 short block ... to me its a start to a strong powerful motor...because then i will do h/c/i and hopefully hit my mark

or i can do h/c/i on current engine and get short block later?
(which seems like it would be more work)

what if i do a budget 347 what do you/everyone else think?
example:
gt40p heads(may go gt40x if i fell like it )
standard hp cam thats 50 state legal $200-$300 unless theres a cheaper way
and gt40 upper and lower .or a trickflow or edelbrock ..sumthing along those lines
